Bookpal Questions & Answers

It was a good Australian publishing company, but, unfortunately, BookPal went into voluntary administration in 2015, resulting in all books published through BookPal being withdrawn from sale and it being left to the authors to re-publish with another publishing house.

It no longer operating as a company - the principals behind it are publishing under another name, which I will not name here - as, in my opinion, they do not deserve to con yet more people. However I am not objective as they delayed paying me in that 2 final months and went into administration owing me close to $10,000 in sales - by far the most effected author. They were okay at what they did up to publishing, then after publishing became not good at all. It was an expensive business to republish.

thank you for your responses.....I also had a children’s book published through book pal and wanted to get some copies of it. How do I get published through another company, if all the originals etc are with them?

Hi Camille, there are dozens of factors determining how long it will take. For instance, if you need copyediting for your book or not. But in general 3-6 months is the standard timeframe. Your investment could range from $900 to several thousand depending on what services you want.

Not only that you'll get the advantage of Bookpal's huge distribution channel you will also be guided by BookPal's representatives from beginning to end.
